Yessssssssssssssssss, Dwight Howard joins the Lakers

Photo by Jong Tek Lim (Getty) when the Lakers are interesting, the news that Dwight Howard will join LeBron James and Anthony Davis in a Lakers team that is very serious about participating in the championships is extremely welcome. That probably won't make the Lakers any better and there's a very real chance of making the Lakers worse. But they will certainly be interesting!

The Lakers will start either Howard or JaVale McGee at center, and if things go as planned, the other will play "big minutes" as a backup. In some ways, LeBron is expected to avoid strangling any of them. Poor Frank Vogel will be full of hands.
